The Senate Republican leadership failed to do what’s right: give child sex abuse victims a window to justice. We stayed all night while they decided it best to go home. This fight is far from over and we’re not giving up. Read more

LEVITTOWN, Oct. 2 – State Reps. Tina Davis and John Galloway, both D-Bucks, today announced that Bristol Township was awarded a $884,581 grant from the state to install pedestrian safety and mobility facilities along U.S. Route 13 from Croydon Station to Janet Avenue. The grant comes from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s Multimodal Transportation Fund. “This money will be used to make needed improvements in Bristol Township by incorporating traffic calming measures and adding a barrier between the railroad tracks and the roadway,” Davis said. “These improvements will reduce congestion to improve safety and mobility for pedestrians. These proposed improvements are necessary for allowing easier access to the Croydon train station and make accessing it much safer. The changes also will make this historic location a more attractive destination for shoppers and visitors and much more functional for residents.” U.S. Route 13 also travels through Galloway’s district. “Safety is a necessity on our highly traveled roads – for anyone driving or walking. I’m glad to see this grant awarded to improve a route used by many of our community members on a daily basis,” Galloway said. Davis was a critical supporter of Bristol Township’s application for these improvements. Act 89 of 2013 created the Multimodal Fund to provide funding for ports and rail freight, Read more

HARRISBURG, Sept. 26 – State Rep. Tina Davis said legislation she is championing to reform government is moving through the House of Representatives. The legislation, H.B. 2519, is similar to bills she has authored over the past several legislative sessions. The bill would end cash gifts for public officials and public employees and lower the threshold for reporting gifts, transportation, lodging or hospitality. “Gifts should be banned for all members of the General Assembly so as not to create any conflicts of interest,” Davis said. “It is the duty of all members of the General Assembly to put the best interests of their constituents first.” Davis has fought for legislation that would ban gifts since 2011, but the Republican committee chairman has blocked Democratic legislation from receiving a vote in his committee. The bill was voted out of the State Government Committee on Tuesday and moves to the full House for consideration. Read more

LANGHORNE, Sept. 17 – State Rep. Tina Davis, D-Bucks, today hosted a House Democratic Policy Committee public hearing on child custody issues at the Middletown Township Municipal Building in Langhorne. Davis was joined by Policy Committee Chairman Mike Sturla, D-Lancaster, and state legislators from across the commonwealth. Two bills for custody cases involving domestic violence and child abuse allegations were discussed: Davis’ H.B. 956 (updates court procedures) and H.B. 2058 (improves custody and visitation adjudications) that she is co-sponsoring. “Today’s hearing was an important discussion about the child custody crisis and what we legislators can do to improve how the courts handle cases of child and domestic abuse,” Davis said. “As a lawmaker, I am deeply concerned by how the courts fail to read the signs of domestic abuse and, as a result, award the custody of a child to their abuser. We must strengthen child custody laws to prevent this from happening again.” Sturla added: “Our most vulnerable citizens and children need to have strong protection by the courts. I commend Representative Davis for requesting this hearing, so we could explore her important legislation.” The committee heard testimony from Kathryn Sherlock, mother of Kayden Mancuso; Danielle Zarenkiewicz, mother; Danielle Pollack, ambassador, CHILD USA; Amy Tielemans, president, Pennsylvania Association of Marriage and Family Therapy; Diane Read more
